Darn Tough Micro Crew Cushion Hike Socks (2-Pack)

Whether you’re thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail or running your favorite route, the Darn Tough Micro Crew Cushion socks will give you the comfortable, breathable performance you need. Each sock is made from a blend of fine-gauge merino wool for warmth and odor resistance; nylon for durability, breathability, and a quick drying time; and Lycra for that just-right stretch. The performance fit prevents slipping and bunching, while cushioning along the bottom of the foot provides extra support. Finally, the sock rises 8.5 inches above the heel to prevent rubbing against your hiking boots.

Merino wool keeps you warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather. Along with offering extra UV protection, it prevents overheating and clamminess by absorbing and releasing vapor. Plus, it’s naturally antibacterial and odor-resistant, so you can stretch an extra day (or two) out of your pair when needed.

The Cabots have been in the sock business for three generations, starting in 1978 in the Green Mountains of Northfield, Vermont with Cabot Hosiery Mills. Born a few decades later, Darn Tough maintains the family’s ethos: great-fitting, long-lasting socks, made right here in the US. All socks are knit on small-needle, fine-gauge machines in the original mill for high-quality, high-density stitching without the bulk. And Darn Tough is so confident you’ll love them, every pair comes with the company’s Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee.
